W. Walton John Flaxman

W. Walton and John Flaxman are documented in the field of graphic arts, known primarily for their detailed prints active around 1829. The limited corpus of documented work suggests a specialization in archaeological subjects, architectural documentation, and the rendering of classical forms.

Seven of their prints are represented in major museum collections, establishing their contribution to nineteenth-century illustration. Notable surviving works include the depictions of classical statuary and antiquities such as Bronze Figure of Minerva, Found in the Barrowof Achilles, Minerva, From a Bronze by Daedalus, and Figure of Bubaste or Isis. Their range also extended to architectural subjects, exemplified by the print Last Judgment, Lincoln Cathedral.

The documented high-quality prints of W. Walton and John Flaxman are preserved within the National Gallery of Art. Today, these works are often studied for their precise rendering of historical artifacts, and are available as royalty-free visual resources due to their status in the public domain.
